Ingredients for creamy spinach artichoke chicken.

How to make spinach artichoke chicken

  1. Sear the chicken: Drizzle the chicken breasts with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper. Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat then add the chicken. Allow to cook for 5 minutes per side, until well-browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  2. Make the sauce: In the same pan, add a splash of oil then add the onion and garlic. Cook for a few minutes until soft and translucent then add the baby spinach. Allow to wilt then pour in the cream, sour cream and lemon juice. Allow to simmer for a few minutes until the sauce has reduced and thickened slightly then add the Parmesan, artichokes and lemon juice. Season to taste then add the chicken breasts on top. Simmer for a few more minutes then serve topped with fresh basil.

Can I make this recipe ahead?

This recipe only takes a few minutes to make but if you’d prefer, you can make the sauce a few hours ahead and just add the seared chicken at the last minute. I wouldn’t recommend freezing this recipe as the cream might split once thawed. Leftovers can be kept covered in the fridge for a day and reheated in a warm pan. If the sauce splits, add a splash of water and stir to combine.
